“Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.

But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”

“We pick at and attack each other, usually through gossip or backstabbing. Many who claim to follow Jesus have, in reality, turned away from Him. There are false teachers in churches, even churches that are trying to preach the truth. We tolerate and accept sin rather than taking a loving stand against it. Most notably, the love that Jesus said would characterize His followers is absent in many Christians and churches.”

“2 Corinthians 5:21, ‘For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.’ Some translations word that differently and say that we become the righteousness of God. Because of that, I don’t have to worry if my good deeds are good enough or if the scales are balanced in my favor. They’re unbalanced in my favor, because Jesus gave me His righteousness.”

Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what He is saying to the churches.”

“Now those verses are speaking most specifically about asking God for wisdom, but it really applies to all prayer. If we don’t pray in faith, then we shouldn’t expect any response from God. He’s gracious enough to answer some of those rather faithless prayers anyway, but the real power in prayer comes when we pray with absolute confidence that God hears us, that He cares about our trials, and that He’s waiting to answer.”
― Candle Sutton, False Shadow

“In Joel 2, God promises, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants—men and women alike. And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth—blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the Lord arrives.”

He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.”
